THANK YOU! Sorry I missed this, perhaps others did, too.

Prayer thread for 8 Shelter Now workers on trial (et al)

thanks to Weirdad for the following info, originally posted HERE.

I hope that all remember to keep praying for these courageous Americans, Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry, two women who were in Afghanistan providing humanitarian aid through Shelter Now International; and to pray for the Australians, and Germans and Afghan Christians under the same duress or worse. They and all the accused Christians need our prayers. Remember and pray.

BUMP, (here and link to prayer thread.)

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Isa 40:31

Please let's keep this prayer thread alive.

bump -- they cannot be forgotten.

''She wasn't afraid of anything,'' he said. ''She would take on things before other kids." -- Hi, dear Republic -- it just struck me that, for such a difficult, scary situation, Dayna was the just right person for this mission; my prayers are continual for her, Heather, and the others. May God be with them and strengthen them.

What a great writeup - thank you for posting this. We are praying.

I have read and heard stories about this before the 9-11 attacks. When we read about one story, from either side in war, no one, not even our noblest patriots, does not suffer the anguish. Unfortunately there will always be those who have no idea of empathy or compassion. It is those people who create war, and could not possibly understand the intent of a young person with a good heart.

Thank you Manny for the link. I heard about this book today, and did not realize it was online. I am through the first few chapters.

It sheds real light on the NWO, but what really hit home on the site was the Creed. While we can never stand in another man's shoes, to this day, I cannot fathom why John McCain confessed and then is now touted as a hero. What a contrast to those we have witnessed who really fought for us!

Thanks for the ping Angelique.

Thanks for the bump, Angelique.
And thank you for the book link, Manny.
It's bookmarked for a read.

Now I may be dense, but I just don't see why these girls were in Afghanistan in the first place.
I understand about the need to spread the Gospel, but I think God expects us to use a little common sense.

Thanks for the link, Manny. Ever Paul used some discretion in choosing where he would spread the gospel.
